GET UNSTUCK!
MONJON Creator Cards at its core, is creative breakthrough in a card deck.
Players/users grab the deck, picture where they’re stuck in a project, and start playing.
It’s fun, non-frivolous, productive play that leads to a solution. A simple but powerful tool, Creator Cards is sort of like a gamified creator course. Why a game? Because games can be fun, and eliminate the heaviness in problem-solving. Creators care about what they’re making, and the weight of an obstacle or issue can impede the flow of creativity and block breakthrough moments. Creator Cards fosters freer thinking and dialog, providing ways to get creators unstuck.
Here’s how it works best…
Use Creator Cards in context with a specific issue or obstacle you are encountering with a project you are working on at the moment.
For example, if you’re writing a song, and you’re stuck at the bridge, or a story that needs to transition somehow, employ Creator Cards with that particular issue in mind, and the insights on the cards will prompt ideas for a solution.
Why the traditional playing card markings?
Because, it doesn’t really matter what the game is. It’s the insights on every card that will promote creative thinking, leading to a solution. The more exposure to the insights, the more your brain will remember and refer to them when you need them. And there’s an Insights Key with in-depth explanations for every insight on every card.
An added benefit:
The deck is shuffled, so the insights reveal themselves in different orders every time you play a game… reordering the way they enter your brain, which can reframe your thinking as you apply the insights to the obstacle or problem you’re trying to solve.
